‘It‘s fortunate that you get a good rest’ Why did Lee Yeon-bok put his face down in the food ingredient war among chefs?

Episode 30 of the MBC entertainment program ‘It’s fortunate that you get a good rest’ (directed by Kim Myung-jin, Shin Hyun-bin, Lee Jun-beom, Kim Ki-ho / written by Kwon Jeong-hee / hereinafter ‘It‘s fortunate that you get a good rest’), which will air on the 6th, will depict the second day of ‘Chefs on a Deserted Island’, featuring Chinese cuisine god Lee Yeon-bok, Japanese cuisine master Jeong Ho-yeong, and Western cuisine king Fabri. Boom and the newly joined Trot Crown Prince Park Ji-hyun will accompany them on their 0.5-star uninhabited island operation, and in the studio, ‘CEO Ahn Jung-hwan, Park Joon-hyung, Kim Min-kyung, and chef Raymond Kim will watch them and talk to them.

On this day, Lee Yeon-bok, Jung Ho-young, and Fabri will embark on a competition to ‘Naesonnaejab’ (I catch with my own hands) the ingredients for their own cooking. They first go to the tidal flats and passionately explore the tidal flats, even kneeling down, in accordance with the instructions of executive Boom, who says, “You have to catch the ingredients for your own cooking”. In particular, it is said that Lee Yeon-bok, a big name in the chef world, put aside his pride as a chef with 53 years of experience and even displayed childish behavior as he immersed himself in the competition for ingredients, piqued curiosity. Boom, who was watching this, reportedly made the scene burst into laughter by dissing them, saying, “Show us your adult side.”



Then, they get on a fishing boat and head out to sea to find ingredients. At this time, the chefs compete to pull in their fishing lines, saying they will catch the biggest fish. In the midst of this, a top-quality fish is caught, exciting the chefs. The chefs happily imagine dishes that can make the most delicious use of this wonderful ingredient. We wonder about the identity of the ingredient that excites the chefs and the dish that will be created from it.

However, in this festive atmosphere, Mokpo youth Park Ji-hyun continues to come up empty-handed and experiences humiliation. As a former worker in the fishing industry, his pride was greatly hurt and he became increasingly anxious. Indeed, attention is focused on whether Park Ji-hyun will be able to create a dramatic reversal or earn the stigma of ‘Fallen Fish Fail’.

Meanwhile, the fierce competition between chefs who are serious about their ingredients and even put their reputations on the line can be seen on MBC’s ‘Good to Get a Good Rest’ Episode 30, which airs tonight (the 6th) at 9 p.m.
